0:01:49 > 0:01:52< Where's Bailey?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Deaf and dumb, eh?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10< Can you read lips?
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Where is Bailey?
0:02:16 > 0:02:22Coming back today? Come on...!
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Hello, Marny. - Well, look who's back!
0:02:51 > 0:02:57- Hey, I thought you were a blonde. - For all your thinking of me I could be bald!
0:02:57 > 0:03:03- Ham on rye. Did you miss me, honey? - I can't think of anyone else who did.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- But Bailey doesn't miss nothin'. - Nor you!
0:03:06 > 0:03:11She's your girl and he ain't my man. I just see what I see.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16- Sure you don't see what you hear? - Nothing happens I don't hear about.
0:03:16 > 0:03:22- Every day they go fishing together. - Look, the sandwich.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Two things I can smell anywhere - a burning hamburger and a romance!
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- You got a customer. - What'll you have?
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Coffee? Nothing else? Cream.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- Where you been this time?- LA. - Coffee?- No, thanks.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42First she's got you, now him too. The only thing I get is older.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I'll see you later, Marny.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Hmm...guess I must have said something. Enough.
0:03:52 > 0:03:58They just don't want to hear. That's the trouble with the world.
0:03:58 > 0:04:04Maybe you're right. Tell me something... I didn't know I could!
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Does Bailey run the gas station? Know him?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I might have once.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16If he keeps mooning around Jim's girl, no-one will know him!
0:04:16 > 0:04:19You...er...see much of Bailey?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Yeah, every day. From here.
0:04:22 > 0:04:29I often wondered what happened to him. Then I see his sign up there.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34It's a small world. Yeah...or a big sign.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- They're just not feeding today. - They will later. It's clouding up.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59- They say the day you die, your name is written on a cloud.- Who says?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- They.- Never heard of them.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Nothin' in that one but rain. We oughta go.- Yes.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Do you want to?- No.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14When I look at the sky, I think of all the places I've never been.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Yes, but they're all the same.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22- You've been a lot of places, haven't you?- One too many!
0:05:22 > 0:05:27- Which did you like best?- This one. - Bet you say that everywhere.
0:05:27 > 0:05:34See that cove over there? I'd like to build a house in it, marry you and stay there.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I wish you would.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49- You weren't ever married before? - Not that I can remember.
0:05:49 > 0:05:58That's good. People talk about you - the mysterious Jeff Bailey.
0:05:58 > 0:06:05My mother asks me where did you come from and what did you do?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09My father was...
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- We'd better go.- Something wrong?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Maybe not.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Here...
0:06:33 > 0:06:36You sure are a secret man.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Thanks.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- No...a man just wants to see me.- Oh.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07- Long time.- Hello, Joe. I wish it was nicer to see you.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- Everyone's missed you, but not as much as I have.- Oh?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Whit wishes I had brains like you. - What's the other reason?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I had to find you.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- I owe you or something? - Not me.- Who?
0:07:23 > 0:07:29- How far can that kid read lips? - I'll ask him sometime(!)- This far?
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- Don't like to make mistakes, eh? - They don't let me.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35All right, come on inside.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45- Funny racket to find you in. - Me and the kid laugh all the time!
0:07:45 > 0:07:50I guess it's respectable. That hash-slinger says so, too.
0:07:50 > 0:07:58- How did you happen to find me, Joe? - Well, I was driving down the street and saw you pumping gasoline.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03- Of course, there's a different name. - Just dropped in?- Why not?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06OK, then I'm glad to see an old pal, too.
0:08:06 > 0:08:12So, I take you to dinner, then you hop in your car and you're gone. Right?
0:08:12 > 0:08:18- Almost.- What else? - I'm still working for that guy. - Whit?
0:08:18 > 0:08:23- He'd like to see you. - As much as you did?- Worse.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- I see.- No-one ever thought more of you than Whit.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- Or more about me(!) - Well, that could be true.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- All right, what does he want? - Maybe he's got something for you.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41- Try once more.- Look, Whit never steered you into anything bad.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46- Why, he never squawked when you blew the best thing he had.- Go on.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49The guy just wants to see you.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- Well, since you put it that way, OK. - Know any other way to put it?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Say tomorrow morning?- Where?
0:08:59 > 0:09:04Lake Tahoe. Turn right at the bay. Big house. You won't miss it.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06You can't.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17TOOTS HORN
0:09:26 > 0:09:33< John, are you letting her out like this? Are you gonna stand for it?
0:09:33 > 0:09:37< With a man who won't even come to the door?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Don't worry about them.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- Darling...- It's no good, is it?
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- It's just that they... - Oh, honey, I know how they feel.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53- Don't worry about it.- I'm not. - Then don't look so grim.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- No, it's something else. - What?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- That guy who showed up today... - Yes?
0:09:59 > 0:10:04- Want to take a ride with me up to Lake Tahoe?- Now?- Yes, now.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- I want to tell you something. - All right.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11You told me once I'd have to tell you sometime.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Well...this is it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:33Well, first of all, my name isn't Bailey. It's Markham.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Markham? Jeff Markham?
0:10:35 > 0:10:43I should have told you before. I just kept putting it off, because I didn't like any of it.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48- Please tell me, Jeff. - It'll hurt you.- It doesn't matter.
0:10:48 > 0:10:56Well, our friend Markham lived in New York. He worked for a sort of stupid, oily gent called Fisher.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00We called ourselves detectives.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03That was about 3 years ago, maybe more.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08Wintertime. One of the coldest days I remember.
0:11:08 > 0:11:14- We got a call to see a big op... - What?- A big operator - a gambler.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18He didn't come to see us, because he was too high-powered.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Also, because some dame had taken 4 shots at him with a .38,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25and made one of them good.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32He was taking it in stride, but his friend was a ball of fire.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Newspaper guys! Who are they kidding?
0:11:36 > 0:11:41So, I shot the ace of spades out of his sleeve in a gin game(!)
0:11:41 > 0:11:46A guy can't even get shot by a dame without the town buzzing like a...
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Like you? Smoke a cigarette, Joe.
0:11:50 > 0:11:56You just sit quiet. You wait for me to talk. I like that.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00I never found out much listening to myself!
0:12:01 > 0:12:07- Ahh...! It's amazing she missed me so often. - Maybe you were moving.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10A dame with a rod is lethal.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- What's he doing here? - My partner.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- Should I ask why you didn't call the law?- Should you?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24I guess not. Anything happened to her?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- She's gone.- With 40,000. - I want her.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Or the money?
0:12:31 > 0:12:37- I once bet on a horse that ran dead last. So, I bought... - That's what I mean.
0:12:37 > 0:12:44Oh, you're wrong. That horse is in a nice green pasture so he won't have any accidents.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47You should visit it sometime.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51No...I just want her back.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56- When you see, you'll understand. - Maybe she's just impulsive.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Shall we let it go at that?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I can let it all go.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Even 5,000 now and the same when you bring her back?
0:13:06 > 0:13:12- And expenses.- Now, that should have been the first thing you said.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Find her, Jeff. Bring her back. - Why me?
0:13:15 > 0:13:21I know a lot of smart guys and a few honest ones. You're both.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27What happens to her?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I won't touch her.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36OK.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Get me some stuff on her. Family. Pictures.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- You'll get it.- Bring it over. Come on, let's go.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51Oh, by the way, d'you mind telling me her name?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54..Kathie Moffatt.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Thanks.
0:13:57 > 0:14:03She must be quite a dame... A wild goose with forty G's!
0:14:03 > 0:14:08- For a smart guy that Sterling sure trusts you, don't he?- Why not?
0:14:08 > 0:14:13- Am I going along?- No. - Doesn't like my personality, huh?
0:14:13 > 0:14:19- It's still fifty-fifty, Jeff. - Did I say different? - All right.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22But don't get any cute ideas.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26BIG BAND DANCE MUSIC
0:14:39 > 0:14:44This is an old friend of mine, Jeff Markham. He wants to talk.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- Which one of you is Eunice Leonard? - ..Me.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51May I ask you a few questions?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Come on, honey. Let's dance.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01You work for Katherine Moffatt?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Not any more. She's gone.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08I only stayed 'cos she got sick bein' vaccinated.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Why? - I want to find her.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15- For that man? - No, for myself. Where'd she go?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- I'm not sure... - She may come to harm.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- Is she hurt? - I don't know.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Maybe you'd better say. It's not much.
0:15:25 > 0:15:31The clothes she took, she was looking for sun. Florida.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- Sure about that? - Yeah, I'm sure.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Trunk?- Only suitcases.
0:15:38 > 0:15:44- I weighed them for her. - How much? - 131 pounds.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- Exactly?- Exactly. That's what I weigh myself.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Thanks... Bring them another round.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56You don't get vaccinated for Florida. You do for Mexico.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00I followed that excess baggage to Mexico City.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03She'd been at the Reforma and gone south.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07It was hot in Taxco. You ask "How hot can it get?"
0:16:07 > 0:16:10In Acapulco, you find out.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15I knew she'd come here to get a boat.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17All I had to do was wait.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Near the Plaza was a little cafe called La Mar Azul.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26I sat there in the afternoons and drank beer.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30I used to sit there half-asleep with the beer.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Only the music kept jarring me awake.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36And then I saw her.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41And I knew why he didn't care about that forty grand.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- Cuba Libre.- Si, senorita.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00COIN ROLLS ALONG FLOOR
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Senorita. Senor. May I speak some words?
0:17:06 > 0:17:11- You will be seated, Senor? - With pleasure, Senor.
0:17:11 > 0:17:17- I am Jose Rodriguez, a guide. A most excellent guide. - Indeed?
0:17:17 > 0:17:23You ask them. Jose Rodriguez knows Acapulco as no-one else. Each street...
0:17:23 > 0:17:28- I don't want a guide. - A difficult girl.- They all are.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Perhaps a lottery ticket?- No.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35I have here, wrought by skilled hands, a ring.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- And earrings of jade and pure silver.- These.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Gracias, Senor. Gracias.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51- I never wear them.- Nor I. Please. - No, thank you.
0:17:51 > 0:17:57I haven't talked to anyone who hasn't tried to sell me something for 10 days.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02If I don't talk, I think. And it's too late in life for that.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07I could go and look at the sea like a good tourist,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10but no-one says, "Nice view, huh?"
0:18:10 > 0:18:14It's the same with the churches, the moonlight or a Cuba Libre.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- It's no good unless you share it. - You should go home.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- Maybe that's why I'm here. - Is it?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Well, there's always Jose Rodriguez.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30There's also a cantina called Pablo's.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35It's quiet. A man there plays American music for a dollar.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Sip bourbon and shut your eyes - it's like 56th Street.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44- I'll wear my earrings. - ..I sometimes go there.
0:18:55 > 0:19:01I went to wire Whit that I'd found her, but the telegraph office was closed.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05I was glad it was and I suddenly knew why.
0:19:09 > 0:19:15I went to Pablo's that night. I'd go every night until she showed up.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17And I knew she knew it.
0:19:19 > 0:19:25I drank bourbon and shut my eyes, but I didn't think of 56th Street.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30I knew where I was and thought what a sucker I was.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34I even knew she wouldn't come the first night.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37And I sat there grinding it out.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41SOULFUL VIOLIN PLAYS
0:19:42 > 0:19:46But the next night I knew she'd show.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49She waited until it was late.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54But then she walked in out of the moonlight, smiling.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05VIOLIN PLAYS LINGERING MELODY
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- Ah, this is a coincidence. - Yes, it is.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20..American music.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- I've been here for two nights. - Thinking?- No, waiting.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28I haven't been lonely. Bourbon...?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- As you suggest.- Thank you, sir.
0:20:31 > 0:20:37I've been waiting for the guy to break into Melancholy Baby!
0:20:38 > 0:20:41You know, you're a curious man.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- You'd make every guy curious. - That's not what I mean.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49You don't ask questions. You don't even ask my name.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54- All right, what's your name? - Kathie.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- I like it. - ..Or where I come from?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I'm thinking about where we're going.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Don't you like it?- I'm restless.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- Shall I take you somewhere else? - You can take me anywhere.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13I'm a much better guide than Jose Rodriguez. Wanna try me?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Le jeux sont faits - rien ne vas plus.
0:21:21 > 0:21:28- That isn't the way to win. - Is there a way to win? - You can lose more slowly.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32- Le numero sept rouge. - I prefer it like that.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- Chuck it in.- Don't you gamble? - Not against a wheel.
0:21:36 > 0:21:42- Why are you so hard to please? - Take me where I can tell you.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45All right, come on.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Wait a minute.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34When are you taking me back?
0:22:34 > 0:22:39- Is that why you kissed me? - No.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Whit didn't die.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- He didn't?!- No.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Then why...- He just wants you back.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I HATE him.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55- I'm sorry he didn't die. - Give him time(!)
0:22:55 > 0:23:00- But you are taking me back? - There's no hurry.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03I could have run away last night.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06I'd find you.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Yes, I believe you would.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13- Are you glad you did? - I don't know.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17I am.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22- There was a little business about 40,000.- I didn't take it!
0:23:22 > 0:23:25How did you know it was taken?
0:23:25 > 0:23:30It's what you meant. I don't want ANYTHING of his!
0:23:30 > 0:23:37- Except his life. - I didn't know what I was doing. I only knew how I hated him.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39But I didn't take anything.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43I DIDN'T, Jeff.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Won't you believe me?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Baby, I don't care!
0:23:56 > 0:24:00I never saw her in the daytime. We lived by night.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04The rest of the day went like a pack of cigarettes.
0:24:04 > 0:24:11I didn't know where she lived. All I ever had was a place and time to see her again.
0:24:11 > 0:24:18What were we waiting for? Maybe we thought it was a dream and we'd wake up with a hangover.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22I wired Whit, but didn't tell him. I said, "Wish you were here."
0:24:22 > 0:24:25And every night I went to meet her.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30How did I know she'd ever show up? I didn't.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35What stopped her taking a boat to Chile or Guatemala? Nothing.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38How big a chump can you be? I found out.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43And then she'd come along like school was out.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47And everything else was a stone you sailed at the sea.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- You're so small.- I'm taller than Napoleon.- Prettier, too.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59- Miss me?- No more than I would my eyes. Where shall we go?
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Let's go to my place.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09It was the first time she had mentioned her place.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Maybe it was because the sky was full of rain.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31It was a nice little joint with Mexican furniture and gimcracks.
0:25:31 > 0:25:37The rain hammering on the window made it good to be in there.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Here...
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Hey, hey, not so hard!
0:25:46 > 0:25:52- ROMANTIC MELODY PLAYS - Now yours.- Oh, no, Jeff...
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- Ohh...not so hard, Jeff. - Hush! Gotta dry your hair.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03HOWL OF WIND
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- Are you going with me?- Where?
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- Wherever it takes us.- Why? - To make a life for ourselves.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29To get away from Whit. He knows I'm here.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- ..When?- Tomorrow.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37You can meet me at the hotel, if you can make it.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40I can make it, but can we get away with it?
0:26:40 > 0:26:45- Let's find out.- He won't forget. - Everybody forgets.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- Not Whit!- So, we'll send him a postcard every Christmas.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52I'm glad you're not afraid of him.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56- I've been afraid of half the things I ever did.- And now?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59I'm only afraid you might not go.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Don't be.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05I'll be there tomorrow.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- Love me?- Uh-huh.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Poco?- What's that?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- A little.- Mucho!
0:27:18 > 0:27:21WHISTLING
0:27:27 > 0:27:30KNOCK AT DOOR
0:27:34 > 0:27:38- WHISTLING TRAILS OFF - It's you.
0:27:38 > 0:27:44- I don't like surprises myself. Wanna just shut the door? - No, come in.
0:27:44 > 0:27:51I like surprises. When I was a kid we were so busted that anything was a surprise.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56- Sit down. Have a chair.- Thanks. - Been here long?
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- How long, Joe?- Just in.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04I just wondered who might be following whom?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07What makes you think that?
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Look, you trust people about as far as you can throw Joe!
0:28:11 > 0:28:15That's all right with me, but let's not get cute about it.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20I'm on my way to Mexico City. To see a man about a horse.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24On the level. A racehorse from South America.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- Checking out?- Sure, why waste your money?- Did you find her?
0:28:31 > 0:28:34No. Only her trail.
0:28:34 > 0:28:39Not quite as hot as a prairie fire, but there. A little too obvious.
0:28:41 > 0:28:46- She's a clever little girl. - Is she?
0:28:46 > 0:28:51You should have told me, Whit. I'd have played it differently.
0:28:51 > 0:28:56Maybe she heard my shoes squeak. Always a jump ahead of me.
0:28:56 > 0:29:01- Mexico City to Taxco to here. - Here? Did you see her?- No.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05I wish I had. I don't like playing games.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08KNOCK AT DOOR
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Thank you.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Gracias.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31Nice shoes. Sporty for you, aren't they?
0:29:31 > 0:29:35I got them here. I told you the others squeaked.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40Let's go to the bar. You can cool off while we impress each other(!)
0:29:40 > 0:29:42..Fine.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52- Nice place. Like to stay here a while myself.- You did, by proxy.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06- Something cool. - Make it two.- Three.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11- So you blew it? - Anybody can have bad luck!
0:30:11 > 0:30:16- And squeaky shoes.- Cool it, Joe. ..Where were you off to?
0:30:16 > 0:30:22Telegraph Office. To wire you. I told you, I don't like spending your money.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27- I can stand it. - Well, it's your business.
0:30:27 > 0:30:33- Whit, my friend, there's a million dames out there look like her. - No, they don't.
0:30:35 > 0:30:40- So, she was here?- Well, according to all available evidence she was.
0:30:40 > 0:30:47- Maybe if I'd sent Joe. Could YOU find a dame in a million? - The one with forty grand!
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- Sorry!- Picked up some nerves(?)
0:30:55 > 0:30:59I don't need a crack like that, or your dough!
0:30:59 > 0:31:03I missed her. The dame caught a boat south.
0:31:03 > 0:31:10- Where?- Look, I ate well before this job. If there's something you don't like you can say so!
0:31:10 > 0:31:14- I just asked where? - Chile...Guatemala...
0:31:14 > 0:31:20- You want to go and see the guy in the steamship company?- Why not?
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- Taxi, sir? - Yeah.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37I'm sorry. You're feeling bad. I shouldn't have joked about it.
0:31:37 > 0:31:43All right. You get your 5 grand back and Stefanos takes over.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47Wrong! Nobody quits ME! You started this and you'll end it.
0:31:47 > 0:31:53Besides, Joe couldn't find a prayer in the Bible!
0:31:53 > 0:31:57You'll find her. Take it easy. Take your time.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Well, I better get back to the airport.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03See you someday!
0:32:09 > 0:32:15It wasn't all a lie, she did take a steamer, but it went north. I was on it, too.
0:32:15 > 0:32:23I took an office in San Francisco. A cheap little rathole that suited the work I did.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Shabby jobs for whoever hired me.
0:32:26 > 0:32:32It was the bottom of the barrel, but I didn't care. I had her.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38We kept pretty much to ourselves, except for the movie house.
0:32:38 > 0:32:45After a while, when we were more sure of ourselves, we went back to the familiar places.
0:32:45 > 0:32:53Ball parks, race tracks. Why not? After all, there wasn't a chance in a million we'd bump into our past.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58One chance in a million...
0:32:58 > 0:33:03That was all that chump ever had, and he made good!
0:33:03 > 0:33:08I knew if he ever saw her he'd sell us both for 1.95!
0:33:09 > 0:33:12So, we had to separate.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16I went alone to LA, making it easy for him to follow.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20He was a good gum-shoe, though.
0:33:20 > 0:33:26All this time I didn't write to her or phone or telegraph.
0:33:26 > 0:33:31I just waited. And when it seemed right, I arranged to meet her.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35I wasn't bad at the game myself, and was sure I'd shaken him.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46Fisher was back there somewhere and I could see her again.
0:33:46 > 0:33:51We took a cabin at Pyramid Creek. It was dark when I was getting there...
0:33:51 > 0:33:56and then I saw her walking up the road in the headlights.
0:34:00 > 0:34:05- You wanna a lift, babe? - Well, I really hadn't ought.
0:34:06 > 0:34:12- You're a cute little package to be out alone at night. - You're cute yourself ANY night.
0:34:17 > 0:34:24It was meeting her somewhere like the first times. There was something about her that got me.
0:34:24 > 0:34:30I could hold her and laugh, because we were together again.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34We'd played it smart and forgotten nothing.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38- Except one thing... - CAR DOOR
0:34:43 > 0:34:46He had followed her.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Hello, Jeff.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Don't I get introduced(?)
0:35:02 > 0:35:08I don't blame you, Jeff. Maybe I'd have lied my head off, too.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Your pictures don't do you justice, baby.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Why don't you break his head, Jeff!
0:35:13 > 0:35:18Cute(!) From what I understand, Whit and her deserved each other.
0:35:18 > 0:35:24- You working for him? - Who else would find you? - OK, what's the pitch?
0:35:24 > 0:35:31You and I had a little deal, Jeff. Ten grand and expenses. Fifty-fifty. Remember?
0:35:31 > 0:35:36- You did have a good memory. - I didn't collect.- Not the 10 grand.
0:35:36 > 0:35:41- But, if you tell Whit where we are he might tip you a sawbuck.- Jeff...
0:35:41 > 0:35:48- He won't tell Whit anything. - Sure not! Give me the 40 grand and we're pals.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- I might cut you in... - There's no 40 grand!
0:35:51 > 0:35:58Of course, Whit's broadminded. He don't care about a few slugs in the stomach.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Or Jeff falling down on the job.
0:36:01 > 0:36:06- But you two ganging up together, he might not like that! - Tell him, Kathie.
0:36:06 > 0:36:13Sure I shot him. I'm not sorry about that. But I DIDN'T take his money.
0:36:13 > 0:36:21- Beat it!- Look at all the angles... You know how far Whit can reach. Just pay me off and I'm quiet.
0:36:21 > 0:36:27But use cash. I don't want any pitch from this cheap piece of baggage!
0:36:27 > 0:36:29I was hoping you'd do this...
0:36:46 > 0:36:50GUNSHOT RINGS OUT
0:37:06 > 0:37:11- You didn't have to KILL him! - I did. You wouldn't have done.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- You'd have just hit him.- Why...?
0:37:14 > 0:37:20YOU wouldn't have killed him! He'd have gone to Whit.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32CAR ENGINE STARTS
0:37:55 > 0:38:00I buried him there. I wasn't sorry for him or sore at her.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03I wasn't anything.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- Did you ever see her again?- No.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Did you want to?
0:38:09 > 0:38:11..No.
0:38:20 > 0:38:25- I said it wasn't a nice story. - Whatever happened is done!
0:38:25 > 0:38:30- But you should have known long ago. - It's all right. I understand.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- And it's all past.- Maybe it isn't.
0:38:34 > 0:38:39- What'll happen?- I don't know. I don't know how much he knows.
0:38:39 > 0:38:44- Don't go, Jeff!- I'm tired running. I've got to clean this up some way.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49- Just one thing, Ann. D'you want me to come back?- Of course!
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Put that in your pocket.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Look who's here!
0:39:34 > 0:39:38- Hello, Markham. Glad to see you. - I wondered if you missed me(!)
0:39:38 > 0:39:43- Same guy...time-proof! Cigarette?- I'm smoking.
0:39:48 > 0:39:53- Thanks. Had breakfast?- No. - Joe, tell the boy we have a guest.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57- I understand you run a gas station? - Is it hard to understand?
0:39:57 > 0:40:01- Well, yes.- It's simple. I sell gas and make a profit.
0:40:01 > 0:40:07It's called earning your living. You may have heard of it somewhere.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11I may have. But it wasn't from YOU !
0:40:11 > 0:40:17- I didn't mean to hurt any feelings. - Feelings?! I haven't been able to find any.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- Where did you look? - In my pocket-book!
0:40:21 > 0:40:26- ..Nice, isn't it?- Must have set you back a few shillings.
0:40:26 > 0:40:31- Always worrying about my expenses! - Nice view. Am I here to admire it?
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Not exactly.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37- I need your help.- Like old times.
0:40:37 > 0:40:44- I always liked you.- You liked me because I was smart. I'm not smart any more, I run a gas station!
0:40:44 > 0:40:49- I like the view. - Can you still listen?- I can hear.
0:40:49 > 0:40:56Well, my business is a little more precarious and I earn considerably more than you.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- So I heard.- So has the Government!
0:40:59 > 0:41:03- Well, you could pay them. - That would be against my nature.
0:41:03 > 0:41:09- Forget I said it.- I met a man who understands these things.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12He saved me some money - 1 million.
0:41:12 > 0:41:18I didn't trust him, so I paid him well. But he's unhappy. He wants more.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22- He saved you some.- I appreciate it. I remember what a man did for me.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- Or didn't?- Perhaps.
0:41:25 > 0:41:31- Now he wants 200,000. - He could get 10% of the million if he turned you in.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35- Oh, you're up on this. - Anything to trade?
0:41:35 > 0:41:41The tax records. But why buy them when you might get them for me?
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- Then I'd have them. - Yes, but I trust you.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49I don't think you can trust anyone. You'd better get them yourself.
0:41:49 > 0:41:55- Pass.- You don't like it? - No, I've got my business to run.
0:41:55 > 0:42:00Well...it's a nice view. Let's have some breakfast.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08You remember Kathie, don't you?
0:42:11 > 0:42:14..Yeah, I remember Kathie.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Sit down.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Kathie's back in the fold now.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- You're back in the fold, too. - I see.
0:42:23 > 0:42:28Jeff, you owe me. That is until you square yourself.
0:42:28 > 0:42:33- Did you bare your heart, Kathie(?) - I couldn't help it.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36- Well, that settles things.- Does it?
0:42:36 > 0:42:39You're working for ME.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43This man's name is Leonard Eels. But don't go to him directly.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47He has a secretary whose name is Meta Carson.
0:42:47 > 0:42:53She might even find you charming. I understand that women have.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56She'll tell you how it's lined up.
0:42:56 > 0:43:01- You know San Francisco(?) - Yeah, I was there once on a party.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05- You get around.- That's right!
0:43:05 > 0:43:08You'll get a train this afternoon.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12- Right now I'd like to sleep. - Joe will show you your room.
0:43:13 > 0:43:18- And don't start worrying. - ..Why should I?
0:43:35 > 0:43:38FRENCH WINDOWS OPENING
0:43:39 > 0:43:42I HAD to come back. What else could I do?
0:43:42 > 0:43:48You never can help it! You're like a leaf blown from gutter to gutter.
0:43:48 > 0:43:54- You can't help anything you do. Even murder.- You can't say that.
0:43:54 > 0:43:56I can say that. I buried him!
0:43:56 > 0:43:59What did you tell him? About us?
0:44:01 > 0:44:06- But you couldn't help it, could you(?)- He knew it!- How much?
0:44:06 > 0:44:10- What, Jeff?- I mean about Fisher. - No, I didn't tell him.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13Don't lie to me!
0:44:13 > 0:44:17I didn't...I wouldn't. I wouldn't tell anyone that!
0:44:17 > 0:44:21- I swear it, Jeff. Believe me! - Sure, I believe you(!)
0:44:21 > 0:44:28I didn't know what to do. I was afraid of what I'd done. I couldn't live that way.
0:44:28 > 0:44:34Oh, Jeff, I've missed you. Wondered about you. I prayed you'd understand.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37- Can you?- YOU prayed, Kathie?
0:44:37 > 0:44:45- Can't you even feel sorry for me? - I'm not going to try. Just get out! I have to sleep in this room.
0:44:47 > 0:44:52Let's just leave it where it is. Get out!
0:45:36 > 0:45:41- Meta Carson?- Yes. - My name is Bailey.- Come in.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47- I was expecting you. - I wasn't expecting you!
0:45:47 > 0:45:51- Is that a compliment? - Whit told me you were charming.- Oh?
0:45:51 > 0:45:53- Gin and tonic?- That would be nice.
0:45:53 > 0:45:57- Or whisky if you'd like. - That would be nicer.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03Miserable weather we're having, isn't it?
0:46:03 > 0:46:07- Are you acquainted with the city? - We were quite intimate.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10- Indeed?- We lived together.
0:46:10 > 0:46:16- It's a nice apartment.- Yes, these old houses can be quite amusing.
0:46:16 > 0:46:20I used to live in one in New York that was old. It wasn't amusing.
0:46:20 > 0:46:26- I've never been there. - That's one reason why I'm in San Francisco!
0:46:26 > 0:46:32- Whit said you'd tell me the other. - I'm afraid I don't quite understand you.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35Well, maybe we should get to the point.
0:46:35 > 0:46:40- You worried about something? - I don't know. Should I be?
0:46:40 > 0:46:44- Not if you do as you're told. - That's why I'm here.
0:46:44 > 0:46:48People trust me. Whit trusted me twice. Do you?
0:46:48 > 0:46:50Just as far as I have to.
0:46:50 > 0:46:56- Find your way to One-Fourteen Fulton Street.- When?- Tonight.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59It's the apartment of Leonard Eels.
0:46:59 > 0:47:04Call for me at eight. Look around. I CAN depend upon that.
0:47:04 > 0:47:09In a day or so, he'll take some papers home. I'll let you know.
0:47:09 > 0:47:14- Then you get them. He'll be away. - Where will he be?- With me.
0:47:14 > 0:47:18- I'm his secretary. - That sounds simple enough.- It is.
0:47:18 > 0:47:22- Like two and two make four. - That's right.
0:47:24 > 0:47:28Just remember, I'm coming out in one piece.
0:47:28 > 0:47:33Do you always go round leaving fingerprints on a girl's shoulders?
0:47:33 > 0:47:38Not that I mind. You've got nice strong hands.
0:47:53 > 0:47:57- Jeff!- Petey, how are you? - Where've you been?
0:47:57 > 0:48:01- I went down the line. - Lookin' for me?
0:48:01 > 0:48:04Come on, let's take a ride in your hack.
0:48:07 > 0:48:11- You look like you're in trouble. - Why?
0:48:11 > 0:48:13'Cos you don't act like it!
0:48:13 > 0:48:16I think I'm in a frame.
0:48:16 > 0:48:22- Don't sound like you. - I don't know. I'm going in there to look at the picture.
0:48:22 > 0:48:26- I don't have to tell you to wait. - No, you don't have to.
0:48:54 > 0:48:58- My name is Bailey. - Oh, yes. Miss Carson told me.
0:48:58 > 0:49:01< Bring him out here, Leonard.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08Thank you.
0:49:08 > 0:49:14Hello, Jeffrey. I always wanted my favourite cousin to meet my boss.
0:49:14 > 0:49:18- Martini?- Meta says you're the ninth wonder of the world.
0:49:18 > 0:49:26All women are wonders. They reduce all men to the obvious. So do Martinis! >
0:49:26 > 0:49:29It's so nice here, I hate to go.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32Don't then. Why not stay for dinner?
0:49:32 > 0:49:37- Why not?- We can't... We promised the Bigelows. Remember?
0:49:37 > 0:49:41- Call them. - No, I'm sorry, Leonard.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43How long are you in town, Mr Bailey?
0:49:43 > 0:49:48- I don't know.- Here on business? - You might call it that.
0:49:48 > 0:49:52- Where are you from? The South? - No...Tahoe.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55- We MUST go, Jeff.- All right.
0:49:58 > 0:50:02Your...er...cousin is a charming young lady.
0:50:02 > 0:50:06HE isn't! He's a bookmaker in Cleveland.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09..Where did you say you were from?
0:50:09 > 0:50:14Tahoe. Where we worry as much about the Income Tax as anybody.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17..Frankly, you don't make sense.
0:50:17 > 0:50:24Nor does my being her cousin. Or being brought here to leave fingerprints around.
0:50:24 > 0:50:29Or maybe it's that I'm the patsy and you're on the spot.
0:50:29 > 0:50:31- Coming, Jeff? > - Right away!
0:50:31 > 0:50:34I'll be back.
0:50:39 > 0:50:42I'm glad you could come, both of you.
0:50:42 > 0:50:45- You make a great Martini. - Thank you.
0:50:45 > 0:50:48Goodnight, Leonard. Goodnight.
0:50:53 > 0:50:57For a man who appears to be clever, you can act the idiot!
0:50:57 > 0:51:00That's one way to be clever!
0:51:01 > 0:51:06- What did you say to him? - I told him he made a great Martini.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08- You are an idiot!- So is he!
0:51:08 > 0:51:11- You think so?- He's in love with you.
0:51:16 > 0:51:18Mason Building.
0:51:23 > 0:51:31- Doesn't your conscience bother you crossing a nice guy?- Maybe he isn't nice. He crosses people, too.
0:51:36 > 0:51:41- Do I go along?- No, go to your hotel and wait.- Yes, Ma'am(!)
0:51:45 > 0:51:49- Nice!- Awfully cool around the heart. Let's go.
0:51:49 > 0:51:53..Hold it! Drive round the block and stop here.
0:52:38 > 0:52:43Follow her, Petey. Then wait for me at Eels' apartment house.
0:55:21 > 0:55:23- I lost her.- She's worth losing!
0:55:23 > 0:55:28I jumped a signal and got stopped by a gabby cop.
0:55:28 > 0:55:30Here...you finish it.
0:55:30 > 0:55:35- Shall I pick up her hack?- No. - Where to?- Telegraph Hill.
0:55:35 > 0:55:39- D'you have some bad luck? - Yeah, my timing was a bit late.

0:57:05 > 0:57:11- DIALS NUMBER - Mr Tillotson?- 'Yes.' - This is Mr Eels' secretary.
0:57:11 > 0:57:17Mr Eels isn't answering his phone. Would you see if he's all right?
0:57:17 > 0:57:20- 'Maybe he's out.' - He was waiting for me.
0:57:20 > 0:57:24I don't want to be a nuisance, but I'm worried.
0:57:24 > 0:57:28- Would you call me back?- 'Yes.' - Filmore 0710.
0:57:28 > 0:57:32- Yes, Miss Carson. Right away. - Thank you.
0:57:55 > 0:57:59PHONE RINGS
0:58:03 > 0:58:07- Yes?- 'He isn't there.'- He isn't?!
0:58:07 > 0:58:10- Did you go in?- 'Yeah.' - He must be there!
0:58:10 > 0:58:13Thank you.
0:58:16 > 0:58:19DIALS AGAIN
0:58:24 > 0:58:28- 'Hello.'- Joe Stefanos, please. - 'He's out!'
0:58:28 > 0:58:32Ask him to phone Miss Carson right away.
0:58:35 > 0:58:38Is there a slip-up, baby?
0:58:41 > 0:58:47- Did you send your friend up there to find Eels dead?- No!- Tell me!
0:58:48 > 0:58:50- TELL me...- Don't, Jeff!- Don't what?
0:58:50 > 0:58:54- I don't want to die! - Neither do I, baby.
0:58:54 > 0:58:58They told you they were going to knock him off and they haven't!
0:58:58 > 0:59:02They haven't, because I tipped him off.
0:59:02 > 0:59:07- He's OK?- Do you want him to be? - Yes - they'll say you did it.
0:59:07 > 0:59:12Oh, you're wonderful, Kathie(!) You can change sides so smoothly!
0:59:12 > 0:59:15Stop, Jeff...you're hurting me!
0:59:15 > 0:59:18I'm almost getting it. It's very pretty.
0:59:18 > 0:59:25Whit wants Eels out of the way. And he wants to square with me. Two birds together.
0:59:25 > 0:59:29I visit the chump. Have a drink. Leave my prints there.
0:59:29 > 0:59:32I leave and somebody gets him.
0:59:32 > 0:59:36And the tax papers...they were in the briefcase Meta took.
0:59:36 > 0:59:39I'm the fall-guy.
0:59:39 > 0:59:43There's only one thing missing. The plant.
0:59:43 > 0:59:47What was the motive? I wouldn't kill for a Martini(!)
0:59:47 > 0:59:51- They made me sign it!- What? - An affidavit.
0:59:51 > 0:59:55I couldn't help it, Jeff. I swear I couldn't!
0:59:55 > 0:59:59- They said they'd tell the police I killed him!- Fisher?
0:59:59 > 1:00:04- Then you did tell them about him. Only you said- I- killed him!
1:00:04 > 1:00:10Foolproof. Whit can really hate, can't he? You said it once.
1:00:10 > 1:00:15I NEVER stopped hating him, Jeff. I was caught, too!
1:00:15 > 1:00:21- We don't have to be against each other!- No? - All we need is the briefcase.
1:00:21 > 1:00:26- We can get anything from them. - I'd like that affidavit you signed!
1:00:26 > 1:00:30It's in Eels' office safe. We can make Meta get it.
1:00:30 > 1:00:33- We can make them do anything! - Sure!
1:00:33 > 1:00:37- Oh, Jeff. You could have killed me for what I did.- There's time.
1:00:37 > 1:00:43No, you won't. I've never stopped loving you.
1:00:43 > 1:00:46I was afraid, but I never stopped.
1:00:46 > 1:00:50- Even if you hated me. Did you? - Yes.
1:00:50 > 1:00:52But you don't now?
1:00:53 > 1:00:55..No.
1:00:55 > 1:01:00We could be together again, in a way we never were.
1:01:00 > 1:01:04We can go back to Acapulco and start all over again.
1:01:11 > 1:01:14How do we get the briefcase?
1:01:14 > 1:01:18Whit owns a club. The Sterling Club on North Beach.
1:01:18 > 1:01:20Meta took it to a man called Baylord.
1:01:20 > 1:01:24- I might get by with it.- You will.

1:01:49 > 1:01:53- I went to a bar and had a double. I must be slipping.- Yes.
1:01:53 > 1:01:58He just stood there shaking so hard he couldn't even pray.
1:01:58 > 1:02:03- I never saw anyone so afraid to die. I didn't like it.- You killed him?!
1:02:04 > 1:02:06Certainly.
1:02:06 > 1:02:10But I called. He wasn't there!
1:02:10 > 1:02:14- Eels?- Yes, Eels! He wasn't there.
1:02:14 > 1:02:17The way I left him, he didn't walk away.
1:02:18 > 1:02:21- What's goin' on?- I don't know.
1:02:22 > 1:02:24I do. Where's Bailey?

1:03:49 > 1:03:53- Want to see somebody? - I just saw him. Thanks.
1:04:19 > 1:04:22Know that hack driver? Yeah.
1:04:22 > 1:04:25Rafferty...Get Joe.
1:04:25 > 1:04:29Bring him back any way, just so that briefcase comes too!
1:04:31 > 1:04:36- All arranged.- Twenty for you. The rest is for transportation.
1:04:36 > 1:04:39Have the boy meet me at the airport.
1:04:39 > 1:04:43Sometimes a bad memory can blow somebody's luck.
1:04:43 > 1:04:46I always say everybody's right.
1:04:54 > 1:04:56After you!
1:04:57 > 1:05:00I'll take this. Sorry, Jeff!
1:05:00 > 1:05:06- Start moving!- I sure get into a lot of trouble.- You shouldn't steal.
1:05:16 > 1:05:20Ah, we meet in all kinds of places.
1:05:24 > 1:05:30- Fold your hands or I'll fold 'em for you! - You talk big, Mister!
1:05:32 > 1:05:36UNZIPS BRIEFCASE
1:05:40 > 1:05:44- All right, wise-guy... - I wouldn't. Don't push me around.
1:05:44 > 1:05:49- It won't do any good, will it, Joe? - Cut it, Lou!
1:05:49 > 1:05:55Your move is to do some thinking. I've got the files that were in your briefcase.
1:05:55 > 1:06:03They can be posted to the Treasury. Now, the theory is to save Whit from 10 years in the Federal Pen.
1:06:03 > 1:06:07- Correct me if I make a mistake. - We may do that!
1:06:07 > 1:06:14Of course, the Government may just say to Whit, "Go on home we've got all the dough we need."
1:06:14 > 1:06:18- Want a bet on that?- How did you know I had the briefcase?
1:06:19 > 1:06:23I...had Meta tailed.
1:06:23 > 1:06:29- Sure about that?- Look, all I have to be sure about are the files!
1:06:29 > 1:06:35- Now, do you want to do business or play house? - What's your idea?
1:06:35 > 1:06:40You get the files and Eels' body, in case you want to keep it from the cops.
1:06:40 > 1:06:46- What do you want? - I want the affidavit that Meta put in Eels' safe.
1:06:46 > 1:06:51A lie that somebody put on paper that I killed a guy called Fisher,
1:06:51 > 1:06:55because you don't get the gas for being the undertaker!
1:06:55 > 1:07:01Only four of us knew about that affidavit. Somebody talked.
1:07:06 > 1:07:09- Did Meta tell you?- No.
1:07:09 > 1:07:11Sorry.
1:07:13 > 1:07:17- Whit Sterling... - No...!
1:07:17 > 1:07:23He's right, Kathie. Oh, you've hurt her feelings, Lou. She's sensitive.
1:07:23 > 1:07:29- I'm sensitive myself! - Then you'll need Meta to unlock that safe.
1:07:29 > 1:07:31- I hope she's around. - Yeah.
1:07:31 > 1:07:34Good. Then you can start right now.
1:07:34 > 1:07:38I'll ring you in an hour. That gives you time to get there.
1:07:38 > 1:07:43And a little extra time to figure how to cross me. But you won't!
1:07:48 > 1:07:52POLICE SIRENS WAIL
1:08:32 > 1:08:36Will you bust this for me, Jackson? Sure.
1:08:38 > 1:08:43That's right. The Blue Sky Club in Reno...Shut that door!

1:08:56 > 1:09:01- Whit, this is Kathie. - Everything all right?- No-o.
1:09:01 > 1:09:03I think you'd better stay where you are.
1:09:03 > 1:09:08- Can you tell me why? - I can't talk. Things are mixed up.
1:09:08 > 1:09:13- Bailey mix them? - Look, we're trying to get a plane.
1:09:13 > 1:09:19- You're bringing something? - No. I can't explain. I just wanted to tell you.
1:09:19 > 1:09:23- I didn't want anything to happen to you.- Like what, honey?
1:09:23 > 1:09:27Don't go to Tahoe. Wait in Reno for me. Goodbye.
1:09:35 > 1:09:39- Looks like I'm in trouble. - You are if we don't find Bailey!

1:11:05 > 1:11:08- Gone where?- Maybe with Bailey.
1:11:08 > 1:11:13If you had the law on your tail, would you let a kid come along?
1:11:13 > 1:11:17I'd want a partner - if I could get him.

1:11:22 > 1:11:27Bailey took a plane to LA last night. Maybe headed this way.
1:11:27 > 1:11:33OK...Would you consider it too dumb for him to hole up here?
1:11:33 > 1:11:36He'll come. And when he does, I'll know!
1:11:36 > 1:11:38See ya.
1:11:41 > 1:11:47What does he mean? What do you suppose? Ann Miller.

1:12:00 > 1:12:02You all right, Ann?
1:12:02 > 1:12:06I know what you're going to say. Don't, Jim!
1:12:06 > 1:12:10Jeff didn't do it. He told me everything.
1:12:10 > 1:12:17- Has he got you mixed up in this? - Whatever he's mixed up in, I am too.
1:12:17 > 1:12:19I won't see him hurt you!
1:12:19 > 1:12:23- If he comes back here... - You won't go to the police?

1:15:14 > 1:15:16Cute kids, aren't they?
1:15:45 > 1:15:49What are you scared about? Joe isn't coming back.
1:15:49 > 1:15:54He got careless and fell in a river. Didn't you hear?
1:15:54 > 1:15:59Joe's dead, Kathie! Can't you find some tears for him?
1:15:59 > 1:16:02- Come on!- What are you going to do?
1:16:02 > 1:16:07- Talk things over with Whit. Don't you think I should?- Yes...
1:16:07 > 1:16:11- He wants to see you. He's waiting. - With his fishing rod (?)
1:16:11 > 1:16:16- He...came back.- I bet he's just pacing the floor worrying about Joe.
1:16:16 > 1:16:21- You think- I- sent Joe? - Oh, you're wonderful!
1:16:21 > 1:16:25- All right, where is the gentleman? - Downstairs, in the library.
1:16:25 > 1:16:28Jeff...don't let him trick you.
1:16:28 > 1:16:33- He'll do anything you ask. - Sure he will, anything (!)
1:16:37 > 1:16:42- If only there was some way about Fisher.- There is!
1:16:50 > 1:16:53APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS
1:16:53 > 1:16:59- Getting things in shape for the Treasury boys? - Jeff, I was expecting you.
1:16:59 > 1:17:02Well, let's get down to business. Right?
1:17:02 > 1:17:05You have some papers of mine.
1:17:05 > 1:17:10Take the frame off me. Pin the Eels murder on Joe.
1:17:11 > 1:17:14Sure...sure.
1:17:14 > 1:17:18I get a modest settlement. Say, oh...say fifty thousand?
1:17:18 > 1:17:22To spend my waning years in Mazatlan.
1:17:22 > 1:17:28Not Acapulco, because I'd think of you. Up in the women's prison in Tehachipi.
1:17:28 > 1:17:31It won't be TOO bad. Plenty of sun.
1:17:32 > 1:17:34..You make me nervous.
1:17:34 > 1:17:39You'll be happier if you let the cops have her, Whit.
1:17:39 > 1:17:43I'M not going to take the rap for Fisher!
1:17:43 > 1:17:48- Wait a minute. I'm not framing any woman.- When did you reform?
1:17:48 > 1:17:51I wouldn't. You're out of shape.
1:17:51 > 1:17:55- Besides, she shot him! - He was going to kill you!
1:17:55 > 1:17:59Self-defence. She might not even do time.
1:17:59 > 1:18:02- I'll say it was you. They'll believe me!- Do you, Whit?
1:18:04 > 1:18:09- Go on, tell him about Joe. - What about Joe?
1:18:09 > 1:18:11He's in the East Walker River.
1:18:11 > 1:18:18- I DIDN'T send him after Jeff. It was his own idea! - ..Did you kill him?
1:18:18 > 1:18:24He slipped and fell. When I got there it was too late.
1:18:24 > 1:18:28- He was trailing you? - You don't go fishing with a .45!
1:18:28 > 1:18:34Stop worrying. Fish him out. Stick a note in his pocket. Suicide.
1:18:34 > 1:18:40Don't look so stricken, Whit. You'll get over it. I did.
1:18:40 > 1:18:44Talk it out if you want, I'll wait in there.
1:18:44 > 1:18:49Oh, Kathie, did it take much to make you say I killed Fisher?
1:18:49 > 1:18:56Come on, feed my ego. Tell me he beat you. Dragged every word out of you.
1:18:56 > 1:19:02- ..Well, that's the way it is. - You said you were going. Get out!
1:19:18 > 1:19:21You dirty little phony!
1:19:21 > 1:19:28Tell me about San Francisco. Tell me it was Joe's idea. Go on, squirm your way out of this.
1:19:28 > 1:19:31- Listen...- You took me for a sucker!
1:19:31 > 1:19:38I took you back when you came whimpering. I should have kicked your teeth in!
1:19:38 > 1:19:42No, I'm not going to. Not now, Kathie.
1:19:42 > 1:19:46- We'll let the law push you around. - You can't!- You're wrong.
1:19:46 > 1:19:51- You're going to take the rap. You're going to do as- I- tell you.
1:19:51 > 1:19:57If you don't, I'll kill you. And I promise, it won't be quick!
1:19:57 > 1:20:02You won't be able to answer a door without thinking this is it.
1:20:02 > 1:20:08And when it comes, it still won't be quick. AND it won't be pretty!
1:20:09 > 1:20:12You can take your choice.
1:20:12 > 1:20:14Whit...!
1:20:32 > 1:20:38- I have to go to Reno for the money. Where's the file?- I'll mail it.
1:20:39 > 1:20:41Look, I wouldn't cross you twice.
1:20:41 > 1:20:48I want to be let alone. You'll get the file after I'm out of reach.
1:20:49 > 1:20:52..If that's the way it has to be.
1:20:52 > 1:20:55And find yourself a pilot who can keep his mouth shut.
1:20:55 > 1:21:00Tell him to set his plane down in the desert at about dawn.
1:21:00 > 1:21:06And cheer up, Kathie! You'll get out of it. You always have.
1:21:42 > 1:21:45RUSTLE OF LEAVES
1:21:51 > 1:21:55- They say you killed a man. - Do you believe them?
1:21:55 > 1:21:59- Not until you tell me. - You believe everything I say?
1:21:59 > 1:22:04- Everything you say to me I believe. - I don't know why I do this...
1:22:04 > 1:22:08Why do I let you into my stinking life?
1:22:08 > 1:22:11I ought to slap you and send you home.
1:22:11 > 1:22:14- You said you'd come back. - Not like this.
1:22:14 > 1:22:17- You didn't kill him, did you?- No.
1:22:17 > 1:22:20You know I had to come back.
1:22:24 > 1:22:28- Take me with you, Jeff. - I have to play this alone.
1:22:28 > 1:22:32- You've seen her again? - Yeah, I saw her.
1:22:32 > 1:22:36- Was it the same? - I saw her and it was nothing.
1:22:36 > 1:22:42- She can't be all bad. No-one is. - Well, she comes the closest!
1:22:42 > 1:22:45- Will you see her again?- Tonight.
1:22:45 > 1:22:48Then look at her and look at yourself.
1:22:48 > 1:22:53And be VERY sure that there isn't a little love left for her.
1:22:53 > 1:22:59Then, when you find out, and you know it once and for all, send for me.
1:22:59 > 1:23:03I don't have to find out. I know!
1:23:05 > 1:23:08That's all I wanted to hear.
1:23:08 > 1:23:12Maybe luck is like love. Go all the way and you find it.
1:23:12 > 1:23:15- You do to keep it. - ..You better go.
1:23:15 > 1:23:21- Did the kid do what I told him? - They're following him south, all of them.
1:23:22 > 1:23:25..I can't go.
1:23:44 > 1:23:47- You can put that away.- Oh, can I?
1:23:47 > 1:23:50- I just want to tell you something. - Tell it.
1:23:50 > 1:23:53I WAS going to kill you.
1:23:53 > 1:23:56- Who isn't (?)- Or tell the cops.
1:23:57 > 1:24:00I followed Ann tonight.
1:24:00 > 1:24:03- What stopped you? - Some things you said to her.
1:24:03 > 1:24:06What were you going to tell me?
1:24:06 > 1:24:13I grew up with her. I don't know if I'm good enough for her, but I know YOU aren't!
1:24:13 > 1:24:17The difference is that she loves ME.
1:24:17 > 1:24:24I don't know who you were, or what got you where you are, or where it's taking you...
1:24:24 > 1:24:27but she's NOT going with it!
1:24:27 > 1:24:33Say it to the law. Then, you can tell her how you did it!
1:25:17 > 1:25:21You can't make deals with a dead man, Jeff.
1:25:21 > 1:25:24No, you can't.
1:25:29 > 1:25:33- Let's get out.- Is there some place left to go?- I think so.
1:25:33 > 1:25:36YOU'RE running the show now.
1:25:39 > 1:25:41Do you mind, Jeff?
1:25:43 > 1:25:48Remember the mountains? We should have stayed there.
1:25:48 > 1:25:51I'm trying to remember something else.
1:25:51 > 1:25:57I never told you I was anything but what I am. You imagined it.
1:25:57 > 1:26:02- That's why I left. Now, we're back to stay!- Do I have a say about it?
1:26:02 > 1:26:07Well, have you? Whit's dead. That bundle of papers is no good.
1:26:07 > 1:26:13If Joe was here you could use him. But Joe's dead. And Eels and Fisher.
1:26:13 > 1:26:18And what about this? Someone has to take the blame.
1:26:18 > 1:26:21They've nothing on me. But I'd make a fine witness!
1:26:21 > 1:26:26Don't you see, you've ONLY me to make deals with.
1:26:26 > 1:26:30- Build my gallows high, baby. - No...
1:26:30 > 1:26:34No, we're starting all over. I want to go back to Mexico.
1:26:34 > 1:26:41I want to sit in the moonlight and tell you all the things I never told you...
1:26:41 > 1:26:45until you don't hate me... until you love again.
1:26:45 > 1:26:51- They'll look for us until we die! - I don't care, as long as we're together.
1:26:51 > 1:26:56If you're thinking of anyone else, don't. It wouldn't work.
1:26:56 > 1:27:01You're no good for anyone. You're no good and neither am I.
1:27:01 > 1:27:03That's why we deserve each other.
1:27:08 > 1:27:11Did he get the plane?
1:27:11 > 1:27:16- Where is it?- I'm running the show, don't forget.- Where's the money?
1:27:16 > 1:27:21- Upstairs.- Better pack a couple of bags and get it.
1:27:22 > 1:27:26- Put a few things in for me. - I have.
1:28:14 > 1:28:16- Thanks.- Por nada!
1:28:16 > 1:28:20Do you remember La Mar Azul?
1:28:20 > 1:28:26- I remember you were a clumsy flirt. - We owe it all to Jose Rodriguez!
1:28:26 > 1:28:30..I wonder if he'll ever know what a bad guide he really was?
1:28:30 > 1:28:37Jeff, we've been wrong a lot and unlucky a long time. I think we deserve a break.
1:28:39 > 1:28:43- We deserve each other! - GLASS SMASHES
1:29:11 > 1:29:14Hurry, Jeff!
1:29:25 > 1:29:28ENGINE SPLUTTERS
1:29:31 > 1:29:34ENGINE CATCHES
1:29:57 > 1:30:00You...double-crossing rat!
1:30:00 > 1:30:03GUN GOES OFF
1:30:42 > 1:30:47- CROWD MURMURING - Sorry...
1:30:50 > 1:30:56Too many people. Too much talk. Maybe that's why I like this town.
1:30:56 > 1:30:59Here, three people are really a crowd.
1:31:00 > 1:31:03Let's get in the car and get away.
1:31:03 > 1:31:09- I won't talk to you, Ann. I just want to be with you. - Thanks, Jim, but I can't!
1:31:19 > 1:31:23YOU can tell me. You knew him better than I did.
1:31:23 > 1:31:26Was he going away with her?
1:31:26 > 1:31:29I HAVE to know!
1:31:29 > 1:31:32Was he going away with HER?
